STRATEGI PENGAJARAN BAHASA ARAB BERBASIS TEKNOLOGI UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KOMPETENSI LITERASI RELIGIUS

Abstract

This study aims to analyze technology-based Arabic language teaching strategies to improve students' religious literacy competencies in the digital era. The background of this research is the need for educational adaptation to digital transformation and the low interest in learning with conventional methods. The method used is a literature review (library research) by examining various scientific literature, research reports, and implementation practices in madrasas, Islamic boarding schools, and universities in developing countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Egypt. The results of the study indicate that the use of educational technology such as Learning Management Systems (LMS), interactive mobile applications, religious learning videos, game-based learning, and artificial intelligence (AI) has a significant impact on improving the ability to understand religious texts, strengthening spirituality, and developing critical religious thinking. Technology integration has also been shown to increase learning motivation and the effectiveness of the Arabic language learning process. The impact of this study emphasizes the importance of evidence-based educational interventions involving various stakeholders, including the government, educators, religious leaders, and digital platforms. This study recommends strengthening teacher competencies, integrating technology into the curriculum, and cross-sector collaboration to ensure sustainable and inclusive implementation. Thus, technology-based Arabic language teaching has the potential to become a main pillar in building adaptive, contextual, and relevant religious literacy in the modern era
